Hello again,

Apologies for posting again I didn’t provide enough information and I wasn’t clear enough in the previous topic.  
I followed this tutorial here [Set up structured tagging with tag groups and category tag restrictions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-category-restrictions-tag-groups-relationships/48260) to create several tags to be used for classifying and searching for topics later.  
The issue is that I’m not able to find the topic using the tag I wrote in the text.

First, I created a new topic through the web interface like this:

 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/4/c4c8c5533a4b5d147c4d9f0ff84b85fe309062c2.png)  
And it when done, it looks like this:

Notice that it’s tagged appropriately.

Then, I sent the following text through e-mail:

> Trying to tag this topic to the #toyota::tag tag using email-in.

The created topic looks like this:

 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/1/a1ee18178e3c947bdaa17869ef5351415236b1ac.png)  
And the last two topic created look like this:  
 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/b/7bf52f3ebc06356ca3dceb766d126472bfb1602f.png)

As you can see, the topic created through email-in is not tagged. And when I click on the tag only the topic that I created through web is shown.
